I believe you can purchase that rig with the bed on it already, and there are plenty of aftermarket parts available. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q...ckup&FORM=IGRE |

Wow, both of those are definitely... different. And pretty damn cool! I have an unpainted Pro-line GMC Topkick body in the extra-long version made specifically for the old HPI Savage XL. I have mentioned to someone here that I was toying with cutting the back of the cab off, bringing the tailgate all the way in as the bottom half, making some sort of big rear window and then installing a Pro-line caged back half on it. Problem is, the Pro-line body has TINY fender openings - even if you cut at the fender flare line you'd have to run narrow axles and pretty small tires. I'll figure out some other way to use it one of these days: Length: 10.8" (528mm) Width: 6.8" (173mm) Height: 5.8" (147mm) Wheelbase: 13.8" (351mm) Bomber length!    |

I have a polo shirt that's a similar shade of pink as well as one that is called "lavender grey" (still not sure what else to call it, it's not obviously one or the other) and one that's a purplish red. The only other guy in my office doesn't have the balls to wear those colors  | |

I don't have any cloths like that, but i drive a tiny Suzuki car which i am sure some people have something to say about,,,,, and its red. I can identify with some cars, but one thing they all have in common is i will never be able to afford one of those, so i go for cheap A to B transportation. At least my car are not modified to be unnecessary loud.  which would just be monumental stupid, but i do often see / hear other mini cars kitted out like that, and its not like they have gotten the full boost treatment and need it, its just a silly sub 70 BHP car like mine,,,, but loud.

As I've always said, making a car loud to be a poser is just an attention whore stunt. Making it loud for the sake of making more power is a whole different story.

I ended up with a bad catalytic converter on my 1999 Tacoma 4wd 2.7l. It’s my work-commute truck and in a pinch I had the guy run 2.25” catless off of the header and we added a 2.25” Cherry Bomb in place of the cat and a 2.5” DynaFlow knockoff in the back. Idle is great. Entire RPM band is great at start up, but once it gets hot it’s ridiculous. After 10 hours on i20 west through TX I crossed under an overpass for some McD’s. It reminds me of the cars in the tunnel at Monaco. Heel/toe rev matched downshifts are glorious. It’s a love/hate feeling though. Stupid loud. 5:20 mark is close to my ol’ Yoder. LOL. https://youtu.be/tITRFS8FCQs | |

Bad ass photo and vehicles! The driver of the truck looks exactly like my cousin's boyfriend and he's a diehard Ford lover so I sent that to her.  |

The Mini reminds me of the "Mini Ha-Ha" Matchbox car I had when I was a kid.
